Image forming apparatus capable of performing trial printing, and image forming system

摘要

An image forming apparatus having a receipt interface I/F (17), a hard disk (16, 16a, 41), and a printer section (12). The receipt interface I/F receives pages of image data transmitted and a partial print request signal requesting that only a part of the image data be printed, both transmitted through a communication line. The hard disk stores both the image data and the partial print request signal. The printer section prints a part of the image data stored in the hard disk, in response to the partial print request signal that the receipt interface I/F has received. <IMAGE>
